Kyrsten has been with Hipcooks since 2008, though we'd argue she's a born Hipcook. Her welcoming, easy-breezy style comes from her roots — she was raised amid the gastronomic delights of the Big Apple and the Big Easy. Whether she's spending two days crafting a feast for a special soiree, fridge-diving to whip up a delectable dinner in 15 minutes, or teaching a cooking class, she indulges her inner Hipcook with a smile and a garnish.
